2025, Chevrolet brings two different Blazzers, one sticks to the familiar, bold design, gas power, and the other it’s electric curveball.
With more speed and tech than you would expect from a midsize SUV wearing a bowtie badge.
No matter which one pulls you in, you are getting 5-seater that feels more premium than the badge lets on.
Power & Performance: Your Call, Gas or Electric
Let’s start with the gas version. It gives you two solid choices under the hood. The base engine is a punchy 228-horsepower turbo four-cylinder, it’s responsive, efficient enough, and gets the job done without drama.
But if you’re the type who needs a bit more pull merging onto the highway, the available 308-hp V6 adds real muscle. Both come with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic, and you can go front-wheel or all-wheel drive depending on how you want to handle slippery roads.
Now the EV? Totally different beast. Things start with a respectable 288 hp, but the real magic happens in the upper trims.
The RS trim pushes close to 340 horses, while the SS goes absolutely bonkers—615 hp, dual motors, AWD, and 0 to 60 in a claimed 3.4 seconds. That’s not SUV-quick. That’s sports car quick. And it does it all without a drop of fuel.
Key Specs
To make it easier to compare, here’s how the numbers shake out:
| Trim | Engine Motor | Power Key Numbers |
|---|---|---|
| 2LT / 3LT | 2.0L Turbo (GAS) | 228 hp, 25 MPG combined |
| RS (Gas) | 3.6L V6 | 308 hp, 22 city / 26 hwy MPG |
| EV LT | Single Motor | 288 hp, 283–312 mile range |
| EV RS | Single/Dual Motor | ~340 hp, Up to 334 miles |
| EV SS | Dual Motor AWD | 615 hp, -303 mile range |
Size & Space: No Third Row, Just Roomy Comfort
This is not one of those 7seat haulers trying to do too much, both types of Blazers are designed to comfortably seat five adults.
Rear legroom’s decent, even for taller passengers, and while the cargo area isn’t massive, it’s more than enough for weekly errands or a weekend getaway. Gas models offer about 30.5 cubic feet behind the second row.
The EV version stretches a little longer and wider, thanks to its dedicated platform, but sits lower to the ground. That sleeker profile—especially on RS and SS trims—eats into rear headroom a bit, but not enough to be a deal-breaker. Cargo space is still solid, though a bit tighter than the gas version depending on battery placement and trim.
| Feature | Gas Blazer | Blazer EV |
|---|---|---|
| Length | ~191.9 in | ~192.6 in |
| Width | ~76.7 in | ~78.0 in |
| Cargo (Rear) | ~30.5 cu ft | ~25–30 cu ft |
| Seats | 5 | 5 |
What’s the Damage? Let’s talk about the price
We are not asking if budget matters, cos it always does, the gas Blazer starts you off on familiar ground. The entry-level 2LT kicks in around $35,600, which puts it in line with other midsize SUVs like the Ford Edge or Hyundai Santa Fe. Step up to the RS or Premier trims and you’re looking at prices creeping into the $44K to $45K zone, especially if you add AWD or upgraded features.
The Blazer EV costs more, but you’re paying for serious performance and tech. The EV LT starts near $44,600, while the RS pushes close to $50K. The SS? It brings supercar power for about $60,600. That might seem steep, but for 615 hp and a loaded cabin, it’s kind of a bargain compared to luxury electric crossovers.
Inside: Screens, comfort, and Smart Touches
Inside, the gas-powered Blazer feels plenty modern. A 10.2-inch touchscreen is standard, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto baked in. You can spec in nav, heated seats, and even a Bose audio system if you want a little extra flair.
The EV steps things up, big time. There’s a massive 17.7-inch center screen paired with an 11-inch digital driver display, and the layout feels clean but futuristic. It’s the kind of tech setup that doesn’t just look cool—it’s actually easy to use. Throw in features like Super Cruise (available or standard depending on trim), wireless charging, and a panoramic roof, and it feels like a proper next-gen cabin.
Both versions offer similar core comforts—dual-zone climate, plenty of cubbies and console space, and a layout that feels thoughtfully driver-focused. Higher trims get leather, red stitching, and small touches that remind you you’re not in a base crossover.
So, Which one is right for you?
If you’re into traditional power, proven reliability, and lower upfront cost, the gas-powered Blazer makes total sense. It’s quick enough, looks sharp, and doesn’t require a charging plan.
But if you’re ready for something new—and want speed, silence, and tech in one package—the Blazer EV is Chevy’s strongest case yet for going electric. The RS is stylish and practical, while the SS… well, that thing flies.
What can we say more? Gas or electric, the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer gives you a seriously capable SUV that looks the part and drives with confidence. It’s not just about fuel or battery—it’s about finding the right kind of fun for your lifestyle.
